A GoFundMe page dedicated to raising funds for a Caledon woman and her three daughters’ family that began yesterday, has already generated over $100,000.
At around noon on Thursday (June 18), an officer observed an Infiniti travelling at a high rate of speed going westbound along Countryside Drive.
A short distance later, the Infiniti entered the intersection at Torbram Road and collided with a van containing the woman and her children, a six-year-old, a four-year-old, and a one-year-old.
The six-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
The mother and her four-year-old daughter were rushed to Brampton Civic Hospital where they later died.
The one-year-old was also transported to hospital, but was later transferred to the Hospital for Sick Children, where she died of her injuries.
The driver of the Infiniti, a 20-year-old man, was transported to hospital where he remains in critical condition.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been called in to investigate as a Peel Police officer may have been involved.
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board has identified the deceased woman as 37-year-old Karolina Ciasullo.
Ciasullo was a grade 4 teacher at Isaac Jogues Catholic Elementary School in Brampton.
In a series of tweets, Brampton mayor, Patrick Brown alleged the 20-year-old driver had a prohibited licence, was driving with plates that didn’t match his car and had numerous driving offences.
Although, police state the 20-year-old is in critical condition, Brown alleges he only sustained a broken leg.
Police have not confirmed these details.
The DPCDSB community was saddened to learn of the tragic loss of life of Karolina Ciasullo, a Grade 4 teacher at St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Elementary School, and her three children. Our deepest condolences go out to her husband, other members of the family, friends & colleagues. pic.twitter.com/PnrbRvQEod
